Chase has released a new study highlighting the financial stressors on small businesses resulting from COVID-19. Despite this, more and more companies are looking to resume travel during 2022. Here are the full findings of Chase’s recent Chase Ink Small Business Spending Survey:

Study: Businesses Expect to Ramp Up Travel Despite Omicron Variant

The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on businesses. The last two years have prompted companies to closely examine their expenses, which also means maximizing their rewards when choosing to spend.

Despite the recent surge in cases across the country, most business owners say they plan to re-engage in travel in the new year. And using a business credit card to manage daily expenses could help offset some of those costs.

Chase Ink Small Business Spending Survey Findings

Chase Ink recently launched a survey of more than 1,000 small business owners to understand how small businesses identify priorities and expectations for the year ahead. Key findings include:

  • 72% of small business owners use a business rewards credit card to pay for all or part of business expenses, with 77% using a cash back credit card
  • 65% of small business owners use their business credit card to earn rewards on business expenses so they can redeem for cash back or travel
  • More than half (59%) of small business owners say using their business credit card was essential for managing their expenses in 2021
  • 55% of small business owners say they are likely to take a business trip in 2022
